As part of her duties as a brand ambassador for Reebok, the Danish beauty has taken part in the brand's new "Satisfaction Campaign". The sports label has conducted a Europe-wide survey to get to the heart of what women find most satisfying in life, and the results are fairly humble.

"I travel a lot with my work, so spending time with my family and friends is important to me," said Christensen, who has a 12 year-old son, Mingus.

"It's interesting to see that I'm not alone - 64 per cent of women questioned in the Reebok Satisfaction Survey feel most satisfied when they're simply spending time with family."

Christensen also revealed that reading in bed gives her ultimate satisfaction - while Hollywood actress Eva Mendes, also one of Reebok's high-profile ambassadors - says working out and hiking with her dog are all it takes to make her feel fulfilled.

"What I like about exercise and keeping in shape is the feeling of satisfaction that it gives you. Knowing that you are looking after your body and mind, keeping healthy and looking your best is a great feeling."

The poll revealed that more body-conscious women would choose to have a flat stomach (64 per cent) than no cellulite (36 per cent), while 80 per cent of single women believe that falling in love would make them more satisfied…

Well girls, Valentine's Day is just a couple of weeks away, and it's probably too late to whip up a body like Helena's, so just settle for a book in bed instead.
